Precautions for use of the inverter
Selecting the rated sensitivity current for the earth leakage circuit breaker
When using an earth leakage circuit breaker with the inverter circuit, select its rated sensitivity current
as follows, independently of the PWM carrier frequency.
● Breaker designed for harmonic and surge suppression
Rated sensitivity current
IΔn ≥ 10 × (Ig1 + Ign + Igi + Ig2 + Igm)
● Standard breaker
Rated sensitivity current
IΔn ≥ 10 × {Ig1 + Ign + Igi + 3 × (Ig2 + Igm)}
Ig1, Ig2: Leakage currents in wire path during commercial power supply operation
Ign: Leakage current of inverter input side noise filter
Igm: Leakage current of motor during commercial power supply operation
Igi: Leakage current of inverter unit
Example of leakage
current of cable path per
1 km during the
commercial power
supply operation when
the CV cable is routed in
metal conduit
(200 V 60 Hz)
